Problem solved! (:> After searching again manually through entire disk I found a file profile.ini which when I looked at it contained a reference to a profile that no longer existed. I renamed the file and SM2 installed and imported the proper profile. Hurray! Robert Kaiser was correct when he said it may be a profile left over from a prior load of SM2. It was placed in the 1.1.18 profile directory and that's why it was overlooked by me. I didn't expect to find anything from SM2 there. Sorry Robert for not pursuing you clue earlier. Live and learn.
